directions

  • In a large no-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and make a roux by adding the Wondra flour and whisking constantly.
  • As soon as the roux begins to start turning color (about 1-2 minutes), whisk in the chicken broth and then all other ingredients. Bring to a boil until the gravy thickens (it should do this very quickly), then remove from the heat. Add in the cooked sausage and stir.
  • If the gravy is too thin, sprinkle in a little more Wondra flour and re-whisk over heat. If it comes out too thick, just add more chicken broth over heat and whisk until desired thickness is achieved.
  • NOTE: It's okay to use whole milk or half-and-half if you have no heavy cream on hand -- it will come out just fine.

  1. Oh my gosh. Beats every sausage cravy I've tried. So delicious! And I didn't even have the Herb-Ox flavoring. However, I did have homemade roasted-chicken stock, so maybe that made up the difference. Very, very good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am a retired State Park Resort Manager/Ranger. <br /><br />Anyway, as to my years in the State Park System (retired now), I was responsible for 4 restaurants/dining rooms on my park and my boss at Central Headquarters said I should spend less time in my kitchens and more time tending to my park budget. I spent 25 years in those kitchens and worked with some really great chefs over those years, (and some really awful ones too!) <br /><br />I spent THOUSANDS of hours on every inch of that park and adjacent state forest (60,000 acres) and sometimes I miss it. But mostly I miss being in that big beautiful resort lodge kitchen. I miss my little marina restaurant down on the Ohio River too. I served the best Reuben Sandwich (my own recipe -- posted on 'Zaar as The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich) in both the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Kentucky down there and sold it for $2.95. Best deal on the river! <br /><br />They (friends and neighbors) call my kitchen The Ospidillo Cafe. Don't ask me why because it takes about a case of beer, time-wise, to explain the name. Anyway, it's a small galley kitchen with a Mexican motif (until my wife catches me gone for a week or so), and it's a very BUSY kitchen as well. We cook at all hours of the day and night. You are as likely to see one of my neighbors munching down over here as you are my wife or daughter. I do a lot of recipe experimentation and development. It has become a really fun post-retirement hobby -- and, yes, I wash my own dishes. <br /><br />Also, I'm the Cincinnati Chili Emperor around here, or so they say. (Check out my Ospidillo Cafe Cincinnati Chili recipe). SKYLINE CHILI is one of my four favorite chilis, and the others include: Gold Star Chili, Empress Chili and, my VERY favorite, Dixie. All in and around Cincinnati. Great stuff for cheap and I make it at home too. <br /><br />I also collect menus and keep them in my kitchen -- I have about a hundred or so. People go through them and when they see something that they want, I make it the next day. That presents some real challenges! <br /><br />http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/shawnee.htm</p>
